Managing Spoolers, Queues, and Logical Printers
Querying for Queue Information
paused Jobs in the queue will not be
scheduled to the physical printer or
printers associated with the queue.
You pause a queue with the pdpause command and change the state
back to ready with the pdresume command. A queue will receive jobs
from its associated logical printer or printers if it is in a ready state or it
is paused. Jobs in a paused queue will not be scheduled. You must
disable the logical printer or printers associated with the queue to stop
them from sending jobs to the queue.
Querying for the Verbose Set of Queue Attributes
To query the verbose set of attributes for the queue Queue2, enter:
pdls -c queue -r verbose Queue2
HPDPS displays information similar to the following:

LogPrt3 PhyPrt3
PhyPrt4
Querying for Backlogged Queues
The attributes queue-backlog and backlogged indicate a backlogged
condition:
Attribute Description
queue-backlog This attribute indicates the amount
of time, in hours and minutes, that
HPDPS estimates it will take to
finish printing all of the jobs in the
queue.
backlogged This attribute indicates whether the
value of the queue-backlog attribute
has exceeded the value of the queue
attribute backlog-upper-bound.
This attribute can have one of two
values: true or false.
